I worked on pole for about a year and a half and saw great progression. I started off weak, no upper body strength, a little overweight. I kept at it and eventually, I began to see results. I could do some spins, I could do the Scorpio, etc, but nothing was still really strong, prolly cuz I didn’t pole with a plan, just randomly when I felt like it. Fast forward a couple years, Ive gained a lot of weight and am just now getting back to pole and I’ve found I’m in an even worse place than I was when I first started!
However, I did have some muscle memory from doing it previously and I can kinda see improvement already in just a couple days. It takes practice, lots of it, but you can’t be scared to try new things. With pole, I often found learning one move would help me invariably in some way with another one, even if I didn’t nail it, just trying to learn. Keep at it, don’t be afraid to push yourself and strength will come!
